Dog sees sun going down in Kent, say (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

english setter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dog' is the definition.
(English setter is an example)

'sun going down in kent say' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sun' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is located in the answer.
'down' could be 'set' (similar in meaning) and 'set' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'sees' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for english setter that I've seen before include "Breed of dog" , "One in white coat spotted" , "Dog -- serenest light (anag)" , "man responsible for language exam" , "canine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
